"En sommes, l’hôtel répondait parfaitement à mes besoins et à mes attentes. Or, à mon arrivé un petit accident est survenu avec une bouteille d’eau en verre. Après avoir fait appel au service d’entretien, le plancher de ma chambre est encore couvert de petits éclats de verre et j’en trouve juste que sous mes pieds… cette situation n’est pas à la hauteur de ce que Delta m’ont offert habitué et c’est regrettable. Finalement j’ai dû tenter avec des serviettes de ramasser les éclats de verre pour éviter de nouveau une blessure!"
